I promised I'd show you this photo of me when I found it, and today's your lucky day ( tongue planted firmly in cheek here) It turned up while we were sorting through stuff for our garage sale and it's guaranteed to make you laugh. Please don't judge me.

" What the...!"

﻿I wore this to my primary school fancy dress party in 1970 something...

What was I thinking? God knows! (get it) I could blame my...I'm going to call it...quirky...costume on my Mum, but that would be a lie (and good little Catholic girl's don't do that) because it was entirely my choice. All the other little girls went as fairies, brides, ballerina's etc and what do I rock-up as??? Sister Kylie!

All I can say is I must have been a total loser or the biggest suck-hole ever. Probably a bit of both. Look at me though, I think I look gorgeous. I must've been chanelling my inner Soeur Sourire specially for the photographer. I'm serene, radiant and...tragic!

I did give my outfit a bit of style by opting for my black lace ups over my brown school sandals though, don't you think?

Anyway tonight (and I'd better say a few Hail Mary's before we get there) my husband (Anthony not Jesus) and I are going to see this wild and crazy guy

He is one of Anthony's favourite's (think Hairspray, Polyester, Cry Baby, Pink Flamingos) I don't know what to expect really. I'm looking forward to it though...I'm expecting it to be a bit like a car crash - you don't want to look but you just can't help yourself.

I think you look so sweet! Being brought up catholic too I think my nan would have been so proud to have seen me dressed like that - i however rebelled so was in constant bad books (oh dear for me if there is a judgement day! lol).Are you going to find it hard selling all your wares at the GS? My problem is that I get too attached to everything, will be brave soon and do a boot sale (will try and follow your lead and declutter). Scarlett x

I think you were beautiful. You certainly were radiating from within. I was brought up Catholic and there was a deep respect for women who had chosen this path and I think that is why a lot of us as little girls loved them (the nice ones). We knew they were special and had given their lives to God. You could have done a lot worse than emulate a nun.

Aw, I love a nerdy looking kid! This picture is wrong, yet so right in many ways.You look so happy and proud, I reckon you should re-create this look for an updated version, like that website (forgot the name).

I think you looked adorable as Sister Kylie. *hehee*MY GOD those barrels are lovely the one with the acorn on top is just the sweetest. I have no clue how you are able to get rid of all this amazing stuff. I don't know if I would be able too. *lol*

Oh kylie, you look the picture of innocence...and hilarious!!! I can't believe it's not framed and up on the wall...maybe now your making room it ought to be-how could your kids misbehave with you peeping down at them in that get up!!!

The photo of you is hillarious. I love it! You should frame it and have it in pride of place (I really mean that!). I remember the nuns saying at school that one day some of us might hear the voice of Jesus calling us to be a nun. I was always really terrified, thereafter, that I might hear him. Never did. Phew!

here's a little clip, especially for you, since your photo reminded me of our dominique who, in the year that i was born, scored a big, big hit with dominique... (sorry for the flemish blabber - but if you keep on listening, you will find that the french lyrics gets sung in many different languages.... tee-hee). greetings from belgium, love!;)))n♥
